Stem Cell Therapy for Erectile Dysfunction, Restoring the Sexual Capability of Men

A good news regarding the treatment of erectile
dysfunction is around the corner. Scientist are quite confident to obsolete the
Viagra like drugs in future. Instead they will use an injection containing stem
cells to cure the problem. Before considering the methodology first let us find
what basically erectile dysfunction is and what is the effect of Viagra?

What is Erectile Dysfunction?

Erectile dysfunction is basically the inability to gain
or maintain erection during a sexual act. There can be various reasons behind
it. Erection is a complex process of physical and physiological combinations. Therefore
both physical or physiological defects can lead to an inability to get
erection. Various reasons involved are cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, trauma,
neurological problems as well as hormonal imbalance. Sometimes relationship
issues or lack of interest can also be the underlying psychological causes. Now see how a 132-pound ovarian tumor removed from Connecticut woman.

What is the mechanism of
action of Viagra?

Viagra is the other name for sildenafil drug. It is
introduced by Pfizer Company. Viagra serves as an inhibitor of PDE5 enzyme. PDE5
enzyme acts on a chemical responsible for blood supply to the smooth muscles of
penis. Therefore Viagra increases the blood flow to the penis and causes the erection
to be maintained. See how a massage scheduling app Soothe attracts $31 million.

Things other than Viagra:

Erection is very important for a healthy sexual
relationship. A huge population of men are not having a satisfactory relation due
to this problem. Viagra and other drugs of its class are known to be wonder
pills for men. They provide a relief from this disorder but it is only timely.
You have to take the pill every time before you are planning to have sex.

There can be a few more solutions other than Viagra. Life
style change can bring a great change in the sexual health. Proper and regular exercise,
quitting smoking and alcohol, can help reduce the symptoms.

Another important treatment is consulting a psychologist
for proper guidance. He may help you to overcome the issues related to your sex
relation.

Many men also use vacuum pump devices to control erectile
dysfunction.

Researchers from are striving to alleviate the symptoms
of erectile dysfunction by using stem cells. They are claiming to replace Viagra
and other Viagra like drugs by a permanent solution.

In a study conducted by researchers from Denmark, they
have improved the function of penis while injecting 20 million stem cells
directly into the base of penis. As the erection depends mainly on nerves and
blood vessels, this treatment revitalizes these vessels and nerves and helps to
improve the erection. Viagra and certain other drugs do not have any effect on
physical appearance of penis but this treatment will also enlarge the size of
penis. The claim has been reported in The Sunday Times.

Prostate gland removal also has an effect on the male
reproductive system. Removal of the gland causes an alteration in hormones ,therefore causes the organ to get smaller afterwards.
This research is also focussing to help these prostate cancer patients making
the penis normal even after removal of the gland.

This research is giving hope to many men all round the
world who are struggling with erectile dysfunction. According to a study
byInstitute of Diabetes and Digestive
and Kidney Diseases, around 30 million men are affected by it only in United
States. Other factors like age, Disease, emotion distress and psychological
problems can aggravate the disorder. What are weight loss benefit of Ramadan.

So far, not many but eight men have undergone the
treatment in the first trial. A separate
study is also conducted on a group of 70 people. The results are still pending
for 12 of these participants of the study receiving the injections.

The methodology involved was removing the fat cells from
the abdominal cavity of these men, therefore scientists identify the appropriate
stem cells and then injected these cells directly to the base of the sex organ. The team is quite hopeful that this stem cell therapy could
be quite useful for those men also who are suffering erectile dysfunction due
to a physical health condition or survivor of a trauma.

The director of the Danish Center for Regenerative
medicine, Professor Soren Sheikh is all set to present the results to the
European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology in Barcelona, Spainat the meeting in the month of July. But it has been added by Professor that these are quite
early days and there is a long way to go, even after the trials are successful.
He says in an interview toThe Sunday
Times.

Conclusively if this research is going to be approved and
established as a proper treatment this will be a landmark in the field of medicine
as the erectile dysfunction is prevailing in the men population day by day
resulting from unhealthy and stressed life style of modern days.
